One summer morning a group of drinking mates set out for a short walk. Twelve hours later, exhausted and footsore, they straggle on to Makara Beach.

So begins the story of the Cock & Bull Tramping Club. Inspired by their guiding spirit The Compleat Tramper the Cock & Bull trampers embark on a series of adventures (and disasters) including battling a snow storm on Tongariro, being attacked by native falcons in the Nelson Lakes and slogging through the swamps of Stewart Island.
